The Steampunk Workshop has posted some pictures of an interesting Mac mini setup created by Dave Veloz. It features a Steampunk-style keyboard, LCD monitor and Mac mini. The setup was apparently used at a wedding reception where it displayed a slide show of engagement photos. I'm really not that familiar with entire Steampunk computer movement, but the finish on the Mac mini looks pretty sweet. I would suggest that you head on over to the Steampunk Workshop for the rest of the pictures. They are definitely worth a look.

I got most of the graphics (the decorative corners, and boundaries) from iStockphoto.com. Unfortunately I can't post the pdf I created because it's against their graphic usage agreement. But you can purchase the files for about $10. The apple is a googled .png (but I can't see it anymore when I searched this evening, I'll repost filenames soon, that might make searching for them easier). Then just print it out and use double sided sticky carpet tape to stick it on. I painted the edges with some gold leaf paint from Michaels. I covered the very bright (what was it white?) LED with an orange Japanese peanut snack package that I was eating the day before the wedding.

I looked up images of old typewriters to get the right look and feel. There are a lot of beautiful old typewriters, with many different designs that would be worth exploring.

No mouse. Well I mean there is a mouse, but it's just a regular plastic grey one (which wouldn't have looked to good in the pictures).
